Reedo Records represents the Germany based music label launched in 2008 and own by Mr. Irish Bastard.

The Band was founded in the middle of 2006 by the singer The Irish Bastard (Himself), the banjoplayer Gran E. Smith and Lady Lily on tin whistle. These three had already played together in another band with strong folk influences. The bass guitarist Boeuf Strongenuff, with whom The Irish Bastard had also been playing in a band for years, could also be won for this project. Further band members were Ron Calli and Mitch Mackes. Increasing success, coupled with immense touring, lead to many changes of the lineup within the first few months.

By now, the four founding members and the drummer Ivo KNivo are the fixed lineup, who are supported by the Travelling Bastards Itchy Quetchy (Accordion) und the guitar players P respectively Moe Leicester. Sometimes, formers members of the band might still join them on stage. By now, a loyal fan community and a first unofficial fan club, the Mr. Irish Bastard Street Team, have been established and the band plays in front of up to 6,000 people (e.g. at the Open Flair festival, see Eschwege).

After publishing their first EP St. Marys School of Drinking, which the band sold over 3,000 times on their own, the debut album The Bastard Brotherhood was released in early 2008. Both CDs were published on the bands own record label Reedo Records. By now, The Bastard Brotherhood is available in its second edition after the first edition was sold out exceptionally quickly.

Special collectors vinyl record versions of both CDs are now also available at Mad Drunken Monkey Records. Further publications followed in Japan, here the CD University of Hard Knocks was released in November 2008 on Uncle Owen Records, and China, where Fortune & Glory was released in March 2009 on Proletopia Records.

Their album A Fistful of Dirt has been published on April 23, 2010 on Reedo Records. Furthermore, Mr. Irish Bastard are featured on the sampler (record)s Almost St. Patricks Day, Almost St. Patricks Day, Vol. II (both in Germany) and Rising Suns (Japan). American audiences may be familiar with their song Everything Must Die, which was featured in the independent film Townies by Boston filmmaker Mike ODea. A live video of their song Last Pint was published on the DVD to the Tribal Area DVD-Mag No. 8&#8243; in SLAM alternative music magazine. The bands latest release, Never Mind The Bastards  Here Is Mr. Irish Bollocks, is a cover version of the album Never Mind the Bollocks, Heres the Sex Pistols by British punk band The Sex Pistols.
